courtnek Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 I cut a mat out of Ford. he WONT be brushed. period. this was a few months ago. it was right up on his skin, and bothering him. I had to do three cuts, closer and closer, but got it out. he stopped trying to yank it out on his own (and then crying) but then the hair never grew back!!! its a majot bald spot!! vet says he's fine, no ringworm or anything...why didnt it grow back??? it doesnt bother him, or hurt...its just a big bald spot.... :o :o Quote
courtnek Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 on the lower left flank...just above the left leg, about 3 inches, and its about 2 inches wide, which is what I had to cut out. it was hurting him. he would grab it with his teeth and pull. then cry. he was picking at it constantly. he now has two more, smaller ones, on his right flank.....I'm afraid to cut them out... those are not yet pressing against the skin,. should I cut them? :o :o :o he wont let me brush him, even with my cat nodule brush.. :o Quote
AllAmericanPUP Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 yea i would cut them out before they get really bad. Quote
courtnek Posted August 24, 2005 Author Posted August 24, 2005 no. there is down there, some fur, but a big ring thats darker than the skin,. I cut the other one, same thing as well.... :o Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 How long ago did you cut it? I'm thinking that the mat pulled out the hair and left a bald spot after you cut it out. I'm sure it'll grow back! Quote
nadooshkinz Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 Don't worry, I'm sure it'll grow back. :wink: Clea had a bald spot from where the screw worm would was, and it stayed bare for quite a bit, but its slowly growing back now, although the fur looks darker, but I guess it's because she's double coated..
